Chapter 1073 The first person in the European and American literary circles
Listening to the names of Tolkien, Yeats, Nishikioriichi, Yoshikawa Ju and other literary giants read out one by one, the audience experienced a second of silence, and then burst into exclamations that toppled the roof!
"Oh my God, the Fantasy Literature Association is also here~!"
"Why did it say that the 'Flower and Bird Poet' and 'Wine Fairy Poet' also joined the Western guest group?"
"Don't these teachers in the fantasy literary world disdain to participate in the activities of simple poetry couplets?
"This lineup...... It's too powerful, isn't it? ”
The atmosphere at the scene was frenzied, and even Zheng Guiyang, Brother Hai, Gu Rang, Hu Yinan and others had already opened their mouths in surprise.
They originally thought that they would follow Su Huai to mix up today, and they could win this couplet and lantern riddle competition casually, but they didn't expect that the Western group would invite such a heavyweight guest.
Tolkien is the first master of Western literature, and his status is transcendent, so he will come to participate in this Lantern Festival event?
Not to mention Nilgai, Stegin, the two most cutting-edge new generation literary celebrities in the new European literary world, also attended, and even Nishiki Weaving and Yoshikawa Ju, the two great poets, attended and served as guests of the question group, which is simply a coalition of the world literary world!
Even the Chinese audience in front of the TV was uneasy when they saw it, looking at the TV and muttering:
"These people are coming, but it's really hard for the people who are connected......
"The people of the Fantasy Literature Association are the best at playing word games, and this Tolkien is a master of words, and when he wrote "The Lord of the Rings", he also created an elven language, and he may not be easy to ...... the question."
"Teacher Su, I'm afraid it's dangerous. ”
"Alas, as long as you can't get the next link, even if you lose? That is to say, these literary giants can only come up with the questions? They can come up with some tricky and weird absolutes! This is too difficult!"
Originally, in this Lantern Festival couplet naming event, everyone was optimistic that the team led by Su Shengren would win a big victory.
Unexpectedly, the Security Council announced this kind of rule, which is clearly biased in favor of the Westerners, but the most infuriating thing is that the two poets have become the people of the question group, which clearly weakens the strength of the receiving team.
On the side of the United team, although they have added Kirk, Russell, and Jenny, these European and American representatives, in fact, they will not contribute at all.
The original advantages of Huaxia are now gone!
At this time, the people in the question group obviously did not arrive, but were ready to wait for the Yanhuang Cultural Wing led by Su Huai at various passes.
At this time, Zheng Guiyang, who was the chairman of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, couldn't help but say loudly:
"It's not fair!!"
As soon as these words were shouted, the audience fell silent, and all the reporters were secretly surprised, it turned out that this rule was not discussed by the Chinese people and the Security Council?
Kirk and Russell both had a good look on their faces, silent, Zheng Guiyang was too shallow, and openly clashed with the Security Council at the press conference, aren't you looking for death?
Suddenly, a deep voice was heard: "It's really unfair. ”
Everyone followed the voice, but saw an old man in a wheelchair appear in front of everyone, with the signature top hat on his head and the black pipe on his mouth, all of which were as famous in the literary world as his name.
"It's Tolkien~"
"Teacher Tuo is here!"
J.R.R. Tolkien, by far the world's best-selling author.
His greatness is not limited to the fact that when anyone introduces this literary giant, he will be preceded by the words "the greatest poet of the century, the linguist." ”
This old man not only represents a monument in the European and American literary circles, creating a new field of fantasy literature, but also the Royal Order of Europa awarded by Queen Elizabeth VII of Europa on his chest highlights the significance of Europa culture.
If you want to select the most influential literary figures in the East after the catastrophe, then Su Huai is naturally the only candidate, and in contrast, in the European and American Federations, Tolkien is also the undisputed "greatest and only".
No one thought that in the Eastern and Western literary circles, two banner figures would meet on this occasion.
Su Huai was also quite surprised, he originally thought that Tolkien would guard the last level, but he didn't expect this big boss to appear first, and thought to himself, it seems that the Security Council must have used his own eternal absolute, so this old leaf doesn't have to be the finale.
I heard the old man Tolkien say aloud: "Chairman Zheng said that it is not fair, I also think it is unfair, this Lantern Festival event is not fair in the first place, we are Europa, but we have traveled thousands of miles to your China to celebrate your traditional festival, and I also think it is not fair at all to write what Spring Festival is based on your tradition, and to make pairs." ”
As he spoke, Tolkien's wrinkled face showed a smile:
"That's why don't you do this, we're going to do an event in Europa tomorrow, doing our traditional Europa poem game, you come up with the question, we'll pick it up, if you can't catch it, we will also follow today's rules." ”
Zheng Guiyang was suddenly speechless, they were so easy to hold a Lantern Festival event, no matter whether they win or lose this time, their Xihu Scenic Area will be famous all over the world, and it is also a good opportunity to greatly promote Chinese culture, how can you let it go?
"It's really strange, since the rules are unfair, why is Chairman Zheng unwilling to exchange?" Tolkien took a pipe in his mouth and spat out a puff of smoke rings:
"If Chairman Zheng doesn't object, then tomorrow he will come in accordance with the provisions of the Security Council, what do you think?"
In Tolkien's position, he was naturally qualified to give such a fair either-or.
Zheng Guiyang also had no idea, so he could only look at Su Huai as if asking for help, and Su Shengren had the final say in this matter.
Su Huai listened to Tolkien's remarks, and knew that this old man was in front of the members of the Security Council, pointing out that the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles had the advantage of time and place, and was not qualified to bargain, so he also said:
"Well, the Spring Festival couplets are a Chinese tradition, so let's follow this rule, I don't have an opinion. ”
This time, the two sides are not fighting to win or lose the couplet game, but in the eyes of the Security Council, the strength of the literary circles of the East and the West is high, and if they are aggressive and bargaining, it will appear that their strength in the literary circles is not good, and they need to use some small means to gain an advantage.
The two sides reached an agreement and set the rules, and the reporters' flashes kept flashing, and their moods became more and more excited.
It's getting bigger and bigger this time.
At this time, I heard the reporters who had good things to do ask Tolkien:
"Teacher Tuo, may I ask you, what do you think about the cultural relics ownership incident that is making a lot of noise now?"
This Lantern Festival activity is superficial, but in fact, the Security Council suddenly intervened, mainly because of the ownership of cultural relics, which is the core of this incident.
